Explore beautiful white-sand beaches, premier golf courses and captivating surroundings that distinguish The Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua. This legendary hotel in Maui, Hawaii, is located on the western edge of the island, a paradise Hawaiians call the "Island of the Sun." Kapalua can be loosely translated as "arms embracing the sea," which refers to the resort's dramatic lava peninsulas. Five bays and three white sand beaches create the area's renowned shoreline, while a few meters inland, lush rainforests, a protected marine life conservation district, an ancient Hawaiian burial ground, and golf courses that double as wildlife sanctuaries await exploration.
